Third Floor Common Room, Saturday Morning

[longislandiceme]

Bobby had almost- almost actually smiled when he'd woken up this morning only to find he wasn't in the camp anymore. No, he was back at that strange school the other-him apparently attended.

Which was why the almost smile, because he knew from experience that this was only going to last a couple of days before he was back at the Alamo.

Still, might as well make the most of it, right? So he was puttering around the kitchenette, trying to find something to eat that required a minimum of preparation. And then maybe there would be some television to watch. He hadn't watched TV in forever.

[ooc: Bobby Drake is now the House of M version, and this common room is now the open version!]

Raven had been working her way down the dorm floors and finally found someone in the third floor common room. She recognized the boy there from the pictures on the other!Raven's phone, though she wasn't sure of his name.

"Hi," she said cautiously.

[longislandiceme]

Bobby gave a startled little twitch at the greeting, looking over at the new arrival. After a moment, he seemed to come to a decision and offered a tentative smile, tilting his head to indicate the boxes of cereal he'd scrounged up. Did she want any?

Loki had woken up in a strange room this morning, had the briefest of thoughts that it was Asgard and then remembered his tragic obnoxious little shit actions that lead up to his falling from the rainbow bridge to Midgard.

Possibly cried a little. But that was manly crying. Manly crying.

And so, he was prepared to find what these humans were doing. And if he could rule them all. As they were made to be. "Hello," he finally said after all that narrative.

[longislandiceme]

Well, at least he was slightly more prepared for an interruption and didn't startle this time. Loki got a nod of acknowledgement in return for his greeting.

[trigons_child]

"Thanks," Raven said. She was hungry, after all. And the boy seemed twitchy but not a threat.

She furtively consulted the phone (and how this thing was a phone she couldn't possibly comprehend) and checked the "call log" and found a picture of this boy's face beside the name "Bobby."

"You're Bobby, right?" she said.

[abitlowkey]

Loki stared at him expectantly for a moment. Or two. Possibly three.

"Are you mute?"

[longislandiceme]

No, Loki, that was the other other Bobby. The evil one.

...One of the evil ones.

"No," he said with a scowl.

[abitlowkey]

Well, stop being evil and mute, Bobby.

"If you're certain," he replied smoothly, moving around the furniture as though it offended him by it's very existence. "Where is this land located?"

[longislandiceme]

He nodded. Back 'home', people who knew his name when he didn't know theirs were bad news. But this wasn't the Alamo, and people who knew this other Bobby were bound to run in to him, he knew.

"Don't know you, though," he finally admitted.

[longislandiceme]

Well of course he was certain, Loki. He had just talked to you, after all. Sure, it was a one-syllable word, but it was still a word.

Bobby just shrugged in response to the question. He hadn't really figured it was all that important of a detail, all things considered. It wasn't like they'd be sticking around for very long.

[trigons_child]

"Raven," she said, still wary. "I'm not really sure where I am, though. What is this place?"

Given how the government had decided mutants were a threat, it could be some sort of containment facility, but that didn't explain why she seemed to be free to move around. Of course, she hadn't gotten outside yet.

[longislandiceme]

Ah. So she'd been displaced, just like him. "Don't really know either," he admitted. "I like it, though." Much better than his former accommodations.

[abitlowkey]

Useless creature. "What are you watching?"

[trigons_child]

"You just woke up here, too?" Raven said. At least she hadn't been the only one.

"I need to find my friends. If they're here, too, we need to stick together."

[longislandiceme]

That got a scathing look. For some reason this guy just brought out the best in Bobby.

"Television."

Obviously.

[longislandiceme]

Bobby nodded, trying not to let the envy he felt at the mention of 'friends' show. Friends weren't really something he'd had for- a long time. He didn't know where Raven's friends might be, though, so he couldn't really offer much help there. He did glance over at the common room door, wondering if Raven had checked the rest of the building yet.

You just had to be on the same floor on which Annie woke up this morning, didn't you? Because that meant everyone here got treated to the little redheaded girl coming in, followed quickly by musical accompaniment.

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!

Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!

When I'm stuck with a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh!

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I love ya Tomorrow!
You're always
A day
A way!

And then she exited the common room and went on her way.

Now that Shatner was away from that horrible mind-reader (who wasn't reading his mind), he took the psychically powered (not actually) baby (droid) he found (was assigned) in that strange room he woke up in (his own) and fled to the nearest public room he could find. He clearly just needed coffee. He just needed to wake up more.

"Good morning, everyone! How's the coffee today?" he asked. "And are any of you marks I can unload this baby onto?" He also asked that in nearly the same tone, just a tad more dramatically. But he thought it was internal narrative. As you do.

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Nice to have a little music to start the morning, isn't it?" Shatner asked nobody in particular. Possibly the baby. "Too bad that was way too much music."

That didn't even really work as an insult in Shatner's mind, but he wasn't going to let that stop him from thinking it. He'd just be careful not to say it out loud.

Which he did.

Well, to be fair, Erik was the only one she trusted. Angel had betrayed them (never mind she'd done the same thing later), and Azrael and Riptide had attacked them as well, and Emma was...Emma. The shift in allegiances was still pretty new.

"I started two floors above and I've been working my way down," Raven said to Bobby's questioning look. "You're the first person I found. Where are you from?"

[abitlowkey]

"A helpful little boy, aren't you?"

[longislandiceme]

What the heck was that?

"...What?" Bobby just kind of stared at the spot where Annie had been only moments ago.

[longislandiceme]

Annnnd now the staring that had been directed at Annie's retreating form had a new target.

"Coffee's hot," Bobby offered, because it was the first thing that came to mind after '...What?' and he'd done that one already.

[longislandiceme]

Bobby considered the question. He'd come here (sort of) from the Alamo prison camp. But that wasn't where he was actually from. "New York," he said finally. "Originally."

[longislandiceme]

Well, it wasn't like Bobby actually had any idea what sort of shows were on TV these days. "You should be more specific." Even though that wouldn't have actually helped.
